Mrs. Hazel Pentland, wife of Robert Pentland, of 598 Pardee St., College Hill, died at 8:10 o'clock Sunday morning at the Easton Hospital. She was admitted to the hospital on Sunday evening, June 22, and underwent an operation on the following day.

She was 28 years of age on June 10. Mrs. Pentland was born in Phillipsburg, but most of her life was spent in this city. Deceased was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, this city.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*NOTE:
The inscription on Hazel's tombstone is incorrect. She died in 1924, as her obituary was listed in the Easton Express in 1924, not 1927. I listed her year of birth as 1896 since she was 28 years old when she passed, rather than the year of 1898 inscribed on her tombstone. Her sister was born in 1898 in May, which would also conflict with her being born in June of 1898.

According to Easton Cemetery records:
Hazel was buried July 1, 1924 and was 28 years old. So this confirms that her tombstone inscription is incorrect.

Her death certificate also confirms that her date of birth was June 10, 1896 and her date of death was June 29, 1924.
